Mysuru has always been known for its literary bent of mind, and has become quite the hub for niche festivals. From the talk of acclaimed novelist Anita Nair, who spoke about societal curbs on women’s desires and slut-shaming, to the session on literature and social media by Resident Editor of The Week K.S. Sachidananda Murthy to a talk on literature and sport by well-known sports writer Suresh Menon, the third edition of Mysuru Literary Fest-2019, organised by Mysore Literary Association at Senate Bhavan inside Manasagangothri campus in city yesterday, proved to be a thought-provoking event for intellectuals, journalists, writers and the common man. Here we present a slice of the event.
